"Housed in the former Washoe County Sparks Justice Court/Library and Hale's Drugstore buildings, the Sparks Heritage Museum is a historical museum arranged chronologically. The spotlight has been on Sparks, however many artifacts and collections are generic to the Truckee Meadows. Each area focuses on an era of local history such as the Native American Indians, Mining, Prospecting, Farming, Ranching, the Railroad, Lifestyles, Civics, etc. Extensive photograph collections and Gift Shop. Group tours by appointment." (visit link)
